Lucario's new adventure
Chapter 10
This episode begins with Ash and the others walking through a thick fog.
Misty and Ash are fighting about her broken bike again.
Brock pulls a table and chairs out of his backpack and says he is going to have some Cerulean City coffee.
Sir aaron do you want some Cerulean City coffee asked brock.
No thanks I prefer hot tea said sir aaron.
French crepes as well asked brock.
Sure said sir aaron.
However, Brock needs a fire.
Ash sir aaron and Pikachu go to get firewood.
This happened all the time in my days ash lucario and I would take a branch and the one who got the short end had to get the firewood said sir aaron.
Let's try it and see who gets the short end I bet I'll win said ash.
Ready pull said sir aaron and they tugged on the branch and it broke.
Opps I got the long end said ash I guess you and lucario get the firewood.
This looks like a good branch lucario aura sphere now said sir aaron.
Here goes said lucario and the branches fell down.
Remember the training I told you about its time for the first lesson I'll hold the vine and when I let it go dodge it said sir aaron.
Ok do I have to close my eyes asked ash nervously.
No that's step number two you are a beginner said sir aaron.
I'm ready when you are sir aaron said ash.
Ok ash here it comes said sir aaron letting go of the vine.
As the vine swung forward towards ash he dodged to the right and to the left.
Good job ash you did it said sir aaron hugging ash now let's get this firewood back to brock before he gets worried.
They encounter a group of boys in suits.
One of them is running on a treadmill, while the rest gathered around quiz him about various Pokémon.
He misses a question and is rejected by the other boys.
Ash jumps in to defend him.
The boys reveal that they are students of Pokémon Technical Institute, a boaring school which educates Pokémon Trainers.
Pikachu starts the treadmill and tries to keep up.
The school trains its students without sending them to collect badges, and guarantees entry into the Pokémon League upon graduation.
This doesn't seem right going to a school to be a pokemon master where is the fun in that? said sir aaron.
Brock leans on the treadmill, speeding it up, and sending Pikachu flying.
The school is expensive, and therefore populated with rich kids.
The student who was being bullied, Joe, defends his "friends," who were trying to help him, he says he sometimes pretends to know less than he really does because the questions get so much harder.
Ash is very upset at this brutal "tutoring" system, and demands to meet the student in charge, with plans to stop it.
Lucario you give who's doing this a aura sphere knockout but not too hard I can't stand kids being treated like this said sir aaron.
The head student of the beginner class is a girl; Brock and Ash drool over her photo, which makes Misty even angrier.
Team Rocket reveals they both flunked out of Pokémon Tech.
Being led there by Ash has brought back some bad memories for Jessie and James, but Meowth cheers them up.
Joe leads them to the head student Giselle's study area.
He says its overall skill as a trainer, not any one battle, that determines success at Pokémon Tech.
He says even though he's the weakest student in his class, he's still better than someone with two badges.
Misty takes offense, and Joe says he's familiar with her gym; he usually beats her preferred Water Pokémon on the simulator.
Misty demands a real battle, and Joe tells her, "You'll be sorry.
Misty calls her Starmie, while Joe calls a Weepinbell, a Grass-type Pokémon which will have an advantage over Misty's water-type.
Nevertheless, Starmie beats the Weepinbell.
Giselle walks in and chastises Joe for not realizing that Starmie's real battle experience would give it an advantage.
She calls him an embarrassment to the school.
Brock and Ash swoon over the very pretty Giselle.
Even James, looking on with Jessie from a tree outside, is taken with her.
Giselle continues to upbraid Joe, and threatens to withdraw the help of the other students.
Misty challenges her, saying that a true friend wouldn't walk away from a friend in need of help, and that Giselle's beauty is only skin deep.
Giselle accuses Misty of being jealous.
Giselle summons a Graveler to challenge Misty's Starmie.
Although Rock Pokémon are weak against water Pokémon, Giselle says hers are so advanced they can win.
The Graveler smashes into the Starmie, tossing it through a window and out into the pool.
Giselle says that a Pokémon is only as good as its trainer.
A weak Pokémon can still win if it's better trained.
Ash jumps in, saying there's more to training Pokémon than levels.
He says he has two badges, and Giselle says he's still a beginner.
When he reveals that he's been on his quest for 2 months.
She is shocked that he has not yet trained his Pikachu into a Poké Ball, and snidely remarks, "Maybe your Pokémon are training you!
So we have been on our journey for two months that's a lot of exercise said sir aaron.
Ash says his three Pokémon are his friends.
Giselle is surprised that he has only three; most beginners have six.
She attributes his two badges to luck.
She is surprised he chose Pikachu as his starting Pokémon, as they are known to be hard to handle.
She is amazed at Ash having two badges, given how little he knows, and laughs at him.
Pikachu is angry, too, and Ash demands a battle.
Giselle summons Cubone.
Ash calls for a shock attack, but Cubone deflects it, to his dismay.
Giselle calls for a Leer attack, but Pikachu responds by making funny faces at Cubone.
The two Pokémon get into a close-range staring contest, until Giselle calls for a Bone Club attack; the bonk on the head staggers Pikachu.
She then calls for a Bonemerang, which knocks Pikachu out cold.
He comes to, and the next time the Bonemerang is launched, Pikachu jumps over it, and twists the skull backwards on Cubone's head, so he can no longer see.
Pikachu pummels the Cubone, then ducks away as the Bonemerang comes back to take out its master.
Giselle is amazed that Pikachu has won without using electricity.
She is stunned that she has lost.
Team Rocket takes advantage of everyone's distraction to appear with their motto.
Jessie: Prepare for trouble...
James and make it double!
Jessie: To protect the world from devastation!
James: To unite all peoples within our nation!
Jessie: To denounce the evils of truth and love!
James: To extend our reach to the stars above!
Jessie: Jessie!
James: James!
Jessie: Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!
James: Surrender now or prepare to fight!
Meowth: Meowth! That's right!
The Tech students, recognizing them as bad guys who flunked out, attack Team Rocket causing them to flee.
Joe decides to leave Pokémon Tech and return home to start over like Ash did.
Joe asks if he can keep her picture; she says she has one of him, because they are now friends.
Perhaps one day they'll meet in the Pokémon League.
Ash wants to know why he and Misty aren't friends like that; she says it's because Joe doesn't owe Giselle a bike!
Brock we found the firewood you needed let's have some hot tea and that snack you were going to cook that will keep ash and Misty from arguing for awhile said sir aaron.
Good idea said brock starting a campfire the tea will be ready in five minutes.
After five minutes later the tea is done and the crepes are ready and everybody digs in.
